1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Rotavirus A (RVA) G3P[3] genotype is widely reported in dogs and less frequently in cats, with only sporadic human cases worldwide. All reported human infections have occurred in children, suggesting increased susceptibility likely linked to close contact with pets and age-related hygiene practices. The identification of a novel genotype constellation in Brazilian canine G3P[3] strains in 2017 prompted full-genotype characterization of the historical RVA/Human-wt/BRA/IAL-R451/2011/G3P[3] strain, previously sequenced only for VP7 and VP4, to define its genomic constellation and relatedness to canine strains. All 11 segments were analyzed by RT-PCR, sequencing and phylogenetics. The rare genotype-lineage constellation G3.III-P[3]-I2.XX-R3.II-C2.V-M3.II-A9-N2.XXIV-T3.II-E3.II-H6.I, shared with Brazilian canine strains, was identified, supporting a potential common origin. RVA/Human-wt/BRA/IAL-R451/2011/G3P[3] strain showed high genetic similarity (93.2-99%) with canine, feline and canine/feline-like human strains worldwide, with six genes (VP1, VP6 and NSP2-NSP5) closely related to Brazilian dog isolates (97.6-99%), indicating its canine origin. NSP2 clustered with strains from domestic (bovine), synanthropic (rat) and human hosts, while VP7 and VP4 were associated with wildlife (bat; raccoon dog) and environmental (sewage; river water) strains, supporting interhost reassortment and highlighting aquatic environments as reservoirs for interspecies transmission. Identification of new lineages (VP1, VP3 and NSP2) within the AU-1-like backbone reflects its underexplored diversity. This novel constellation likely circulated in dogs and may spill over to humans via close contact, reinforcing a One Health approach to understand RVA zoonotic risk, especially in hotspot regions like Brazil.
